I quit my job and have started a sabbatical of sorts. My last day at work was April 30. Between the day I gave my obligatory 2-week notice and my last day I had second thoughts at times, but within a day or so all the reasons I had for quitting would bubble up from Slack, or when looking at the latest PR opened by my co-worker who programmed like he still thought LOC was a legit measure of productivity.

Every day I wake up more and more certain I made the right choice.

Everyone knows the true measure is lines of code deleted.

(Congratulations!)
